Thor Explorations, operator of Nigeria’s only industrial gold mine, nearly doubled its quarterly revenue in Q1 2025. The company sold 22,750 ounces of gold from the Segilola mine, earning $64 million, up from $33.3 million and 17,420 ounces in Q1 2024.

The sharp increase stems from a 30% rise in sales volume and higher gold prices. In 2024, gold prices rose 30%, continuing their upward trend into 2025, reaching peaks of $3,500 per ounce. Thor secured an average price of $2,720 per ounce in Q1 2025, a 34% year-on-year increase.

“We are pleased with the company's performance during the first quarter of 2025, with strong quarterly revenue where we generated a record net income for a quarter of $34.4m,” said Thor CEO Segun Lawson. He attributed the performance to disciplined cost control and strong market conditions.

Thor Explorations maintains its full-year production target of 85,000 to 95,000 ounces of gold in 2025.
